Feed Our Heroes
Veterans and active-duty military families make significant sacrifices. Access to nutritious food shouldn’t be one of them. Feed Our Heroes supports a network of partners that serve the military community to ensure they have the food they need.

Many veterans, active-duty service members, and military families struggle with the high cost of living here in San Diego. They already make so many sacrifices for us. Access to nutritious food shouldn’t be one of them.
In partnership with local nonprofits serving veterans and military members, Feeding San Diego seeks to serve and support members of our military and veterans when they face hard times. We work with local nonprofits serving veterans and military members to meet this need. Through Feed Our Heroes, we provide food to partner agencies, schools, and mobile pantries.
A lot of times, military families don’t get paid that much. You know that if you’re ever struggling with money, you have a way to feed your family.
“Lucas is in his first year of kindergarten. It’s just me and him, and our dog. I love California. It’s definitely way more expensive than North Carolina, so we’re always on a tight budget. I rely on the YMCA on base. They also do a food drive every two weeks, and that takes a lot of the financial pressure off. Mainly, I’m able to rely on dry goods, and I just buy the meats and milk or cold stuff myself, and it helps a lot. A lot of times, military families don’t get paid that much. It’s very heartwarming because you build a community. You know that if you’re ever struggling with money, you have a way to feed your family. So it’s very comforting.”
